Ergonomic Oar Grips for River Enthusiasts

Ergonomically Designed for Each Hand

Intuitive Feathering

More Powerful Strokes & Less Fatigue

Gilman Oar Grips is the first in the world to offer an ergonomic handed rowing grip.

Designed for fishing guides and anglers, drift boats, whitewater rafting, or just getting out on the river, never miss a stroke with the Gilman Oar Grip. Fully compatible with Cataract Oars, Sawyer Oars, and Edge Oars, the Gilman Grips patented design directly orients the rowing blade into the water with a precise feathering angle, and ergonomically neutral position of the wrist and thumb.

This unique design keeps the blade near the surface of the water, eliminates unwanted oar-spin, and prevents missed strokes. In fact, there is virtually no setup time between strokes. Intuitive feathering, instant rowing feedback, and powerful strokes equal less shoulder and wrist fatigue. Never miss another stroke!

Our Kickstarter campaign was not fully funded.

We were only able to reach 45% of our goal. We are disappointed but we are not discouraged and are working on a plan B to get this great new design into your hands.

Some people are able to understand the performance advantage of Gilman Grips just from a picture, others will want their friends to try them before they order a set. However we know that everyone that has put a set in their hands immediately understands the benefits. Just like the self bailing floor or fat skis, Gilman Grips are about to change rowing forever and we are glad you will be a part of that.

Help us spread the word and share this link with your river friends, on your social media and favorite river blogs. With your help we will reach all the people that would benefit from this breakthrough in rowing.
